It becomes either or because there are way too many binary thinkers like you who divide evrything up based on your narrow minded delusional political views.

You know ZILCH about me, but I obviously get under your skin. Imagine responding like this to a comment not even replying to you?

I know zilch bout you, but you know you got under my skin? LMAO. You're too much. Imagine jumping into every thread and turning it into a $hit show with partisan sniping and personal insults? Dose of your own medicine.

I know, because if I didn't, you'd put me on permanent ignore, or just scroll past.

I do ignore most of what you post. I don't place anyone on ignore. I have self-control and have no need to hide under the rug. Neither you, nor anyone else here "gets under my skin."
You give yourself way too much credit.

Nah, I think I've nailed it. Calling out someone as narrow-minded and delusional, in response to a post that had nothing to do with you, and was factually correct (but that's besides the point), tells me all I need to know.

In my life experience, people spouting off like this rarely pay much in Federal income taxes. What's your effective Federal income tax rate?

Amigo, it's costing NYC a cool billion a year to deal with about 10,000 illegals, do you think a trillion that's needed to deal with 10,000,000 or so of them will magically grow on a magic tree?

As for my effective tax rate I pay more than enough, and I don't get jack sh*t in return.

They also know little about history. They were indoctrinated during the red scare era of teaching where everything is rah rah America #1, imperialism is just capitalism in action, and commies/socialists (its all the same) is bad.

No knowledge of, and accepting resposibility for, the century plus (its ongoing today) of our actively destabilitizing these countries for profits, overthrowing governments we don't agree with ideologically, training people there to commit human rights abuses again, for profits and ideology, and our failed public policies which directly funnel money to cartels (which also destablize their countries more).

The question really is, when one knows history, is why should we be responsible for places we actively work to destroy?

If one can't explain to a child why they should pay for something they break, well, there isn't much discussion to be had with them.

The usual response from someone who pays next to nothing in Federal income taxes and then mouths off about it.
